AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the traditional method of cultivating the two kings of Chinese bees in southern Yunnan, the gaps in the partitions are likely to cause the queen bees to fight each other, the insufficient spacing between the nests causes the workers to gather, and the working bees are prone to eliminate the weak queen bees when the honey source is short. During the wintering period, the separation of bees in the two zones is likely to cause the loss of the old king. The irregular operation of the double-type insect transfer leads to the uneven quality of the queen bees, and the two kings maintain a low success rate.

Method used

A dual-zone structure was constructed using vertical partitions, using wild bazi plant extract to unify the group flavor, dynamically adjust the size of the nest door and the spleen exchange of the cover, and open the worker bee channel in stages, combining the temperature control of the overwintering bee cluster and the queen bee spacing management, and replace alcohol through the gradient odor of the wild bazi plant extract to avoid the rejection behavior of the worker bee and achieve gradual fusion of pheromone.

Benefits of technology

The stability of the coexistence of the two kings has been improved to more than 90%, and the upper limit of the Chinese bee colony in southern Yunnan has been broken to the scale of 12 spleen bee, solving the problem of insufficient success rate of the two kings in traditional methods.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of breeding double queens of bees in southern Yunnan, and in particular to a method for breeding double queens of bees in southern Yunnan. Background Art

[0002] The Yunnan Chinese honeybee is a local population of the Chinese honeybee (Apis ceranaindica) distributed in the subtropical climate zone of the low-latitude plateau in southern Yunnan. It has unique ecological adaptability. The birth weight of its queen and the number of egg tubules are significantly affected by seasonal nutritional conditions. It can maintain a stable egg-laying capacity in a mountainous environment with an average annual temperature of 18.6°C and high humidity. However, under the traditional single-queen breeding model, the colony strength is relatively weak and it is usually difficult to break through the scale limit of 6-7 honeycombs.

[0003] Since the natural colonies of Chinese honeybees in southern Yunnan are relatively small and the queen bee's daily egg-laying capacity is limited, single-queen colonies reproduce slowly and it is difficult to form strong colonies before the nectar flow period to support high-yield collection. However, double-queen colonies can significantly accelerate reproduction by doubling the egg-laying capacity, increasing the number of overwintering bees by more than 40%, and utilizing the mutual warming characteristics of the colonies in the two areas to enhance the overwintering survival rate, thereby solving the bottleneck problem of small-scale and low-yield Chinese honeybee farming in mountainous areas. Therefore, double-queen breeding is crucial.

[0004] However, in general, traditional methods rely on wooden partitions to separate beehives, and introduce double queens after briefly unifying the colony's smell by spraying white wine or alcohol. However, gaps in the partitions can easily lead to queens visiting and fighting each other, and the distance between the hive doors is less than 20 cm, which causes worker bees to gather lopsidedly. When nectar sources are scarce, worker bees are likely to eliminate weak queens. At the same time, the separation of the two bee colonies during the wintering period can easily lead to the loss of the old queen. In addition, improper double-bee transfer operations can easily lead to uneven queen quality, ultimately resulting in a double-queen colony maintenance success rate of less than 30%.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for breeding double queens of honeybees in southern Yunnan to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for breeding double queens of honeybees in southern Yunnan, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the above background technology.

The method for breeding double queen bees in southern Yunnan according to claim 3, characterized in that: The implementation steps of step S3 are: Use a modified twelve-frame beehive, with the interior of the hive divided into two zones by vertical queen excluders with a grid spacing of 3.8 mm plus or minus 0.1 mm. The hive doors are located on the front and back sides of the hive, with a spacing of no less than 35 cm. On the third day after successful mating in step S2, evenly spray the surfaces of the honeycombs in both areas with 10 ml of Yebazi extract per honeycomb to completely cover the original colony odor; At the same time, through real-time monitoring by temperature and humidity sensors in the box, the temperature of the breeding area is strictly controlled at 34.5 degrees Celsius plus or minus 0.5 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is maintained at 65% plus or minus 5%.

5. The method for breeding double queen bees in southern Yunnan according to claim 4, characterized in that: The implementation steps of step S4 are: Select two queen bees of the same age that have successfully laid eggs in step S2 and whose age difference is no more than 24 hours, and simultaneously introduce them into the two zones in the evening; During the operation, apply wild honey from southern Yunnan diluted to 30% concentration on the queen bee's chest, and then gently place it in the lower middle part of the honeycomb in the two zones; An infrared monitoring system was used to continuously monitor the frequency of antennae contact among worker bees within 48 hours after intervention. If the attack behavior exceeded 5 times per minute, Yebazi extract was sprayed immediately.

6. The method for breeding double queen bees in southern Yunnan according to claim 5, characterized in that: The implementation steps of step S5 are: Dynamically adjust the nest gate size based on the difference in bee attendance between the two zones recorded on the seventh day after the intervention in step S4. When the difference in bee attendance exceeds the 15% threshold, limit the width of the nest gate to 1.5 cm for strong colonies and expand it to 2.5 cm for weak colonies. The brood comb replacement operation is performed simultaneously: a brood comb with a capped hatch rate of not less than 80% is transferred from the strong area to the weak area, and at the same time, a brood comb with an egg density of more than 90% is transferred from the weak area to the strong area.

7. The method for breeding double queen bees in southern Yunnan according to claim 6, characterized in that: The implementation steps of step S6 are: Adjust the layout of the brood spleen every 5 days, keeping the proportion of capped spleens at 40% to 45%, the proportion of oviparous spleens at 30% to 35%, and reserving 20% of empty spleens for egg laying; According to the group strength data recorded in step S5, 50 grams of pollen cakes mixed with pollen, soybean powder and honey in a mass ratio of 6:3:1 are supplemented to each area every day, and 200 ml of syrup with a sugar-water ratio of 1:1 is fed simultaneously.

8. The method for breeding double queen bees in southern Yunnan according to claim 7, characterized in that: The implementation steps of step S7 are: On the 21st day after the intervention of step S4, when egg laying stabilized, partition regulation was initiated: in the first stage, 30% of the worker bee channel area was opened, and the interaction rate of the worker bees in the two areas was tested after 3 days; when the comprehensive interaction rate of antennal contact and food transfer reached more than 70%, the second stage was entered, and the channel was opened to 60% for 4 days; after reaching the interaction rate threshold again, the third stage was entered, and the channel was fully opened while retaining the physical separation.

9. The method for breeding double queen bees in southern Yunnan according to claim 7, characterized in that: The implementation steps of step S8 are: 15 days before the Beginning of Winter, when the outside temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, remove the queen excluder and merge the two-zone bee colonies; According to the brood comb data in step S6, two capped brood combs and one honey and pollen comb are reserved and placed in the center of the box, and the distance between the two queen bees is controlled to be within the range of 8 to 10 cm; The outside of the box is wrapped with a 3 cm thick straw insulation layer, the nest entrance is reduced to 1.0 cm, and the temperature inside the box is continuously maintained in the range of 20 degrees Celsius plus or minus 2 degrees Celsius.
